First, chalk your design or wording onto the fabric so that you can get an idea of the layout. Trace over the chalk with the foiling adhesive, and wait until it's completely dried (or if you're feeling a bit impatient you can use a blow-dryer on low heat).
*If you've never used foiling this way before, test it out on a scrap piece of fabric, first.
If you're anything like me,
November and December are prime time for running around the house
getting everything all dolled up for guests and maybe even making a
handmade gift or two for a few lovely people. Luckily, this gold foiled
pillow DIY can double as both and it's simple enough that you don't have
to be be super crafter to get it all done.
Materials:
Foil and glitter adhesive
Gold foiling sheets (any craft store)
Iron
Pillow cover/pillow
Parchment paper
Chalk
First, chalk your design or wording onto the fabric so that you can get an idea of the layout. Trace over the chalk with the foiling adhesive, and wait until it's completely dried (or if you're feeling a bit impatient you can use a blow-dryer on low heat).
Cut the foil so that it covers your entire design, and then place
it shiny side up onto the fabric*. Lay parchment paper over all of the
foil and iron for about 30 seconds on each area. You'll be able to tell
if it's adhering because you'll see the design start to show through the
foil layer. Let it cool completely, then peel the foil off.

Ashley started Sugar & Cloth in September 2011 as a blog filled with
DIY's, recipes, vintage finds, and cheesy jokes. As a newlywed that had
just moved away from friends and family, across the country to the busy
city of Houston for more schooling, Sugar & Cloth was her way of
staying motivated and accountable to be creative. Soon it blossomed into
more than she could have imagined, and most recently formed a small
handmade & vintage shop of the same name.
